She recently hit back at claims she was a ‘hypocrite’ for promoting feminism whilst baring her cleavage in a magazine shoot.

But Emma Watson appeared to have moved past the incident as she looked in great spirits at the photocall for Beauty and the Beast in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Keeping her fabulous figure under wraps, the actress, 26, donned a cream shift dress adorned with floral detailing and a large black sash fashioned into an eye-catching bow.

High-necked in design, the scallop-trimmed garment flared out over her slender curves falling just above the knee, whilst her tanned and toned pins were elongated with a pair of black court heels.

Keeping her chestnut locks loose and tousled, she styled her glossy tresses in a side parting whilst she framed her plump pout with a slick of pink gloss.

Emma – who plays Belle in the live-action retelling of the Disney classic – was joined by her handsome co-star Dan Stevens – who plays the Beast.

Stunning: Emma looked phenomenal as she posed for snaps at the press conference

The photocall came after Emma boldly hit back at critics who claimed her shoot with fashion photographer Tim Walker diminished her feminist views, after one of the pictures showed her posing almost topless in an elegant Burberry rope cape.

Speaking to BBC, the 26-year-old actress – who is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador – admitted she was completely ‘stunned’ by the controversy.

Opening up about the many comments claiming she was a hypocrite, she explained her choice to go topless doesn’t undermine her opinions.
